So, what's the benefit to running tights vs. pants? Obviously, I know they're tight, but I'm just confused on pant types and the pros/cons to them. :)

I've found that most of my pants (except for 1 pair) fall down after I run in them for a while, even if they fit me when I wear them otherwise.  So I like my tights better - they keep me warmer and they stay in place.  I think it's more of a preference thing.  For me I want something that's light (in weight, but not warmth), stays where I want them to stay, and is a wicking material.

Are you shopping for a new pair?

I'm not sure. I have three pairs of awesome Lucy pants, but they're not running-specific, a pair of Adidas running pants that aren't tights, and another pair of random exercise pants from Target. I have $50 in birthday money to spend, so if tights are the thing to have, I might get some. :)

I'm not really sure.. I think I've only worn tights. I like them. haha. At first its probably akward, but its great!

Do what you think will be comfortable. If you don't like the pants then get some tights. Its up to you and what you are comfortable with!

Tights keep fat from jiggling too much.  I go for tights.
